At the Land Transportation Office, it is proper to try to look for the right procedure when applying for a driver’s license. But if what you are after is the renewal of your existing or expired license, there is also a corresponding requirement for that particular case.

If you are one of those professional or non – professional drivers in the Philippines you might be asking about the different requirements for the renewal of your driver’s license so we have listed the different procedures to undergo. We hope this helps some if not all of you.

OFW po ako and expired license ko now. only issue. di makauwi due dahil sa work. now in haiti and not easy to go home. question. any chance to renew ofw license with our relatives help in manila or we need to be there personally. worried that, if we delay the renewal, we may encounter too many question and need to submit or provide too many documents to renew. ltd lang po and vacation and we have no time to prepare additional docs. 1 month pa lang expired license and not sure if can go home this year.

Nasa Php 225 lang yata or Php 125 per year… for expired driver’s license in LTO renewal centers and branches. Note that it is easier to renew in LTO branches in malls. Thank you for visiting our blog, Vanessa.
